Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
Okay, so you've written and a book. You're sitting there with a manuscript in your hands and you're finally thinking, this is done now! That's like, the most demanding, most draining hard work you've ever done, probably, and now you're finished! Congratulations. Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself well done, because honestly, you've... Continue Reading →
Ugh, does it ever get easier? Last year, I submitted a horror novella to an indie press. It was a story that I had started ages ago, something that kind of never went anywhere, until I suddenly knew exactly where to take it. I had heard about the indie press for a while by then,...

Somehow January lasted for eight years, but also passed by in a split second. Weird how that happens, right? Last post I did I wrote about I finally felt like I was back in my groove, making a plan for 2024 and figuring out what I'm going to focus on, but now here I am... Continue Reading →
I'm excited. I'm finally excited. Writing has taken a back seat for a while. Since early last fall, I kind of stuck myself in a rut. I wrote some short stories that I submitted (and waited patiently to hear back about), and I read through and polished some things that I'd written before, but I... Continue Reading →
Whoa - that year went by fast, didn't it? I have so much to be grateful for, and so many people I would like to thank for what has happened in the last 12 months. I wish I could reach out to all of you individually, but I imagine 2024 would be gone as well... Continue Reading →

I'm very excited to share the news that the Lost Boys Press anthology I wrote for - Empire of Beasts - and my short story The Hunt is out today! Empire of Beasts is an "anthology of the unhuman" and it's full of excellent fantasy stories. The half-human inhabitants of the Amalgamal hurtle through space... Continue Reading →
Two and a half years ago - because the world was closed down and I had nowhere to go - I sat down to write a book. Two weeks later, I had a finished draft. Since then, I haven't even looked at that draft, not even once. Not until now, when I suddenly found myself... Continue Reading →
She made it to 90. There was war, when she was little. She told me they were nice to her, those that came. They had families too, and they just wanted to go home. She told me about my great grandfather. He was clever, and he invented things. She told me about my grandfather too.... Continue Reading →
I don't know what happened. I was so motivated after the summer. We went on vacation, spent some time away resting and rejuvenating, and I felt like I came home with newfound inspiration. And then... I never did anything with it? Lately, it's been feeling like every day is the same. Like I'm just spinning... Continue Reading →
